We’re ecstatic to present the first half of our interview with accomplished artist Amy Butler. One of the most popular fabric designers today, Amy’s beautiful fabrics are sold around the globe.

The Accessory Scramble features a daisy krazy crochet hat that is totally adorable!

GREAT SHOW! Very interesting. I really enjoyed hearing about the process of how a new fabric is “born”. The comment about putting the color board together with a piece of trash, if it’s the right shade of green, cracked me up! Thanks, Amy and Daria, for a wonderful show! I’m looking forward to part 2! – Donna

Hi I’m Erin and this is my first visit to your site. I heard about the show from your promo on Mommycast and now I’m hooked on Boutique Cafe as well. I love listening to podcasts and yours is so well done – Congratulations!! I also am a big fan of Amy Butler fabric, I love to quilt with it and have made many projects using her beautiful fabrics over the years. It was a thrill for me just to hear your interview, I felt like you asked some great questions and that Amy shared some great information with everyone. Fabulous job I’ll be listening for part 2 and adding Boutique Cafe to my regularly downloaded podcasts on iTunes.
your new fan,

I absolutley loved the show. It was more acutally like art class 101 with Amy Buttler. It was so awesome, amazing and funny how she got trash because it was the right shade of green. It opened my mind as to look for the everyday things in life to inspire your creativity. Thanks Daria ~Muchas Gracias~ Oh and Amy keep up the great work and Im cant wait to see your new line girl!

Love this podcast – I have been selling vintage designer clothes on Ebay since 1999 as well as childrens resale and NEVER knew about the niche of ’boutique couture’ designers existed until I listened to your podcast -How completely cool! Even though my little girl is only 14 months old, I have already started tracking my favorite designers and their designs so i can start buying outfits when she is alittle older and, – I’ve even been inspired to learn to sew!! keep up the good work!!
